What are RAM Heat Spreaders?

For those heavy memory users out there, especially those of you that routinely ‘overclock’ your RAM, a heat spreader is an easily installed protector that fits around the outside of your memory module that actively disperses the extra heat generated by overworking your hardware.

Similar in size to the memory modules themselves, they are installed around the outside of your RAM stick and stuck in place with adhesive. Dispersing this heat means that your memory hardware is less likely to encounter malfunctions that can happen due to raised temperatures.

The History Behind the EVGA Corporation

The well-known American hardware manufacturing giant known as EVGA Corp’ is most notable for mass-producing Nvidia graphics cards in addition to motherboards integrated with Intel chipset. The company came into existence at the end of the 20th Century in 1999 and since then, it has concerned itself with the production of a number of different IT hardware components. These include power supply units, gaming mice, gaming laptops, computer cases and of course, GPU graphics cards, which are created at its HQ in Brea, California.

Origin of the NameThere are some companies that have interesting back stories about how their name came into being, but EVGA has a very basic source. EVGA is simply an abbreviated acronym based form of the full name which is a bit of a mouthful - ’Ecommerce Video Graphics Array’.

The name shouldn’t however, be confused with the EVGA that relates to another aspect of GPU card technology, Extended Video Graphics Array. It perhaps a good thing that the company’s founders, Andrew Han and Keith Rotchford deemed to name it EVGA Corporation or things could have got a little bit confusing for everyone.

SLIThis relative newcomer to the computer hardware market launched the groundbreaking four-way scalable link interface (SLI) enabled motherboard, which facilitates the simultaneous use of 4 Graphics Processing units in an SLI structure in Autumn 2009. It was the first video card hardware able to support the format and was known by the designator EVGA GTX 285.

The company was also responsible for a ‘dual socket’ motherboard that included ‘overclocking’ features. The SR-2 was the very first HPTX motherboard to exist on the market.

2010EVGA launched an improved power supply for the SR-2 which could supply a continuous 1200W of power and six 12V rails, each allowing a 38 Amp delivery.

2011An air cooler product was released, which was the first manufactured by EVGA. Their initial offering? The impressive ‘Superclock’ CPU cooler.

2013The company’s first ever tablet computer was released towards the end of the year, with the much lauded EVGA Tegra Note 7 becoming available on the US market. This powerful little pocket PC featured the Tegra 4 processor.

2016Illustrating the company’s diverse portfolio, EVGA released the SC17, its first gaming laptop. The gaming market has been booming for a number of years now, which can be a profitable field for an innovator like EVGA.
